Guy
what will be the height of responsiblity for you
at what AGE do you start being responsible?
at what age do you stop clubbing all week long, stop acting childish and start building towards a promising future?

Ladies

This is not a question worth asking, people get responsible when they can, besides no one will tell you he/she is irresponsible

If at the freaking age of 28 (i.e. 30 minus 2) you haven't sorted out all your teenage foolishness, then you might have a long-term problem on your hand.

Some ideas I have found helpful:

==>List out all your age mates and stuff they've done. List out your achievements since birth. Compare.

==>Find God.

==>Get a job doing something.

==>Get your own house/apartment. Part of being an adult is paying bills and learning the reasons for all those rules you grew up with. Waking up in a pile of your own clothes is one of the top ways to bring it home to you that houses NEED TO BE CLEAN.

==>Create a few simple rules and follow them within your newly created territory. (Nothing on the floor. Clean stuff immediately. Cook every night. Delay all purchases by a day at least.)

==>Separate yourself from your very helpful relatives and do stuff on your own. Tackle stuff . Essentially develop a spine.

==>Learn to cook. Start with frying. its easy. move on to boiling stuff later. Stews too.

==>Introduce yourself as Mr X not just X and keep altering your behaviour until that introduction sounds less fake.

==>Aim for Respect.

==> Save at least a 6-month salary equivalent. Not because people say its cool but somehow it adds to your mental swagger and calms you down in ways you cant imagine.

==>Find a mentor. Find some older guy who can criticise and advise you. Dont take everything they say though but at least have someone smarter to talk to.

just my 2 kobo,

op trying am trying to understand this question of yours.

1.Responsibility is not about age.

At 10 yrs I could handle responsibility (ref.to domestics ie cleaning,cooking,washing etc) without supervision at all.
(thnk God 4 boarding).
But I was not mature so my interest around that age was playing kiddish games and everything a 10 yr old does.

But when I finished studying and got a job my interests and talk changed.
I developed a desire to want to improve myself and build my future not waste time partying with friends.
I was no longer a 'responsible kid' but a 'mature' individual with 'real life' responsibilities and maturity helped me handle the responsibilities better.

In summary responsibility is not determined by age. At 28 you could be very irresponsible than a 13 year old.
When you mature all round ie emotionally,physically,psychologicaly then your interests automatically change.
You let go off kiddish/teenage stuff and act your age.You take on responsibilities with maturity.

How do I know you are matured? I look at the things that interest you. Not your age!

so your question should be 'How to act mature at 28'. Then responsibilities fall under that title.

Naijalife:

what will be the height of responsiblity for you

being able to pay your bills, feed and clothe yourself, care for your kids wellbeing (if any)

at what AGE do you start being responsible?

as soon as you leave your parents house to live on your own. . . . . . . . . . .and survive!

at what age do you stop clubbing all week long, stop acting childish and start building towards a promising future?

what does clubbing all week has to do with RESPONSIBILITY?!
what does acting childish has to do with RESPONSIBILITY?!
what does building towards the future has to do with RESPONSIBILITY?!
